REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--C3
Energy Senior Vice President of Products and Engineering Houman
Behzadi addressed how data analytics software and customer engagement
applications support the Green Button initiative at “The Birth of the
Green Button Ecosystem” event on Friday, which brought together Green
Button creators, developers, vendors, utilities, and stakeholders to
collaborate on a vision of how Green Button will evolve going forward.

“The Birth of the
Green Button Ecosystem”

Green Button is an industry-led effort that responds to a White House
call-to-action: provide electricity customers with easy access to their
energy usage data in a consumer-friendly and computer-friendly format.
Since its creation in 2012, the Green Button initiative has seen
explosive growth. Today, about 60 million Americans have access to their
own “Green Button” data in a standardized format — creating new 21st
Century opportunities to use private sector tools and services to manage
and upgrade household and building energy performance.

“C3 Energy is delivering on the promise of the Green Button Initiative.
We provide online and mobile customer engagement solutions that leverage
big data analytics to help utilities develop a richer understanding of
customers’ needs, inform customers about the specifics of their energy
use, provide personalized recommendations for saving energy, and enable
consumers to take action to achieve energy savings goals,” said Behzadi.

Friday’s event celebrated the emergence of a the Green Button ecosystem
with utilities agreeing upon a common information standard, industry
vendors implementing it, and customers having access to their Green
Button data.
